Beken Court is a purpose-built, ground-floor retirement apartment offering low-maintenance living within a well-kept development. The two-bedroom layout and bright living room create a comfortable home for retirees who value community facilities and easy access to transport links.
The development includes an on-site manager, emergency pull-cord system and a communal lounge and gardens, supporting independent living with added reassurance. The flat benefits from secure intercom entry, double glazing and an EPC around band C, suggesting modest running costs.
Buyers should note material leasing and cost considerations: the lease has about 62 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability, and the service charge is relatively high at approximately £4,200 per year. Heating relies on electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas heating.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a supportive retirement setting close to good transport links (including easy access toward the M1 and M25). It is offered with no upper chain and is presented in generally good, move-in condition, though prospective buyers should confirm lease-lender acceptability and review service charge details before committing.
